It doesn't hurt to do both an iCloud and and iTunes backup. That is what I do. You never know if you have to restore your device while away from home or your computer and restoring via an iCloud backup can save the day. You can almost always find internet access via Wi-Fi these days.

What to backup in the iCloud?

I do the nightly iCloud backups over WiFi, and do both a weekly iTunes encrypted backup (which stores passwords) and a local iCloud data backup of notes, calendars, reminders, address book, Safari bookmarks, and settings.
